We played really well. As a team it was probably our best finish we've had in the Batavia Invitational in seven years. Each meet we are getting better. I'm pleased with how we are playing.

I was really pleased with how we played. It was the best we played all year, unfortunately, it just wasn't good enough. Batavia is a very good team year in and year out. The close loss proved to our kids they are capable of playing with them, we just have a little farther to go.

We have to play well. Batavia is very good. They are loaded year in and year out.

Our scores improved from a couple weeks ago when we played at Rochelle. It's nice to see the guys coming around and the scores getting to where they need to be going into conference play.

Ryan's always graded out very well. He's a person with great balance, and he has great lower body strength as well. He's all lower body and that's what we need for pass blocking.

We needed to put some more drives together, but we weren't able to do that after the first one.
